Hope he drops farther than he would have and the Bears get him at a steal level.

Glad someone finally came out. Hopefully others do as well.

Good for him, nothing wrong with at all. If this effects his draft stock, it's pathetic. Sure it took a lot out of him to come out.

 

[bksballer89]

I agree nothing wrong with it....Just said that this is such a huge story in 2014

 

[geezer]

Nobody cares, if you can play than that is all that matters.

Maybe this will give Aaron Rodgers the confidence to finally come out

 

[broncosmitty]

Wow. Good for that guy. If drug addictions and assault charges don't destroy draft stocks I wouldn't think someone being honest about who they are will. Teams want to win. But we shall see.

Big whoop! At least this guy did it before the start of his career & is owning his sexual preference unlike some other "athletes" recently in the news.

I am looking at you Kluwe & Collins!

If this is story worthy, then there needs to also be a sexual evaluation of every individual applying for the nfl draft, straight or not.

Otherwise, who the fuck cares?

What makes you suspect that Kluwe is gay?

“I’m not naïve,” Mr. Sam said. “I know this is a huge deal and I know how important this is. But my role as of right now is to train for the combine and play in the N.F.L.” - Michael Sam

I realize this is what his agent is telling this poor kid, but it's not a huge deal. Kwame Harris already came out as gay and then later went ape shit and beat up his gay boyfriend. Then Aaron Rogers boyfriend outted him when Aaron dumped him for Clay Mathews. Nobody gave a shit then, and nobody will give a shit now. I don't understand the media's need to create and crown "the first gay NFL player" other than to try and create controversy. It's not working.

Why now??

Looks like he trying to strengthen his draft stick, don't know if that was the best decision. Should be a top pick regardless.

(Didn't mean draft stick, but kinda worked out)

Sure it doesn't.....I can guarantee he will drop down some boards because of this. Sad but true

How would that evaluation be done? I am assuming that if I claim to be straight, some girl will be assigned to my case. Where do I sign up?

Guy is already looking for attention. Red flag.

He's been "out" for a year. School knew. Friends knew. Teammates knew. Said he wants to own his truth.http://mobile.nytimes.com/2014/02/1...is-gay-ahead-of-nfl-draft.html?_r=0&referrer=

Gay, bi, curious, or straight, it doesn't matter. But the way he has handled himself since the NFL no longer wanted employ a below average punter is disgraceful.

 

[Jikkle]

Oh great now we're going to have the media drive this story down our throats for a year.

Personally I don't really care because I watch sports for the sport not the extra drama the media wants to create around the sport.

As long as these guys aren't endangering people's lives by being reckless I really don't care what these guys do off the field.

 

[Davis_Mike]

I am waiting for the PFT story on this where Florio gets on his soapbox for the next two weeks.

But seriously, I think this will both help & hurt his draft stock depending the organization.
